California radio host Mike Slater responded Sunday to Gov. Gavin Newsom's suggestion that doctors "should be able" to prescribe housing like they do medicine, calling it "so off the charts that you don’t even know where to begin."

Newsom, a Democrat, initially expressed the idea during his State of the
State address last Wednesday, arguing that housing and health care were intertwined.

"The Democrats have been really good at coming up with proposals that are
so ridiculous, so off the charts, that you don’t even know where to
begin... like, deconstructing what they’re talking about," Slater told
"Fox & Friends" Sunday.

Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way
they do for insulin or antibiotics.

We need to start targeting social determinants of health. We need to start treating brain health like we do physical health.

What’s more fundamental to a person’s well being than a roof over their
head?

Slater said Newsom's solution to the mounting homeless crisis in his state "fundamentally misses the problem" and rejected the claim that
homelessness could lead to addiction and mental illness, arguing that
those factors helped create the crisis in the first place.

"We’re not getting at the root of the problem," he explained. "You can’t
take someone who’s high on meth and put them behind a door and say that
the problem’s solved. That’s what progressives are trying to do, and of
course, that requires more money and taxes."

Slater wasn't the only pundit mocking Newsom's eyebrow-raising suggestion.

Ben Shapiro took to Twitter to respond to a tweet by the governor on the subject, writing, "Doctors should write you a prescription, because you're talking crazy talk."

"Legal weed in California seems to be going well," RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway quipped.

Slater expressed little faith in the governor to turn his state around,
calling his latest effort "more of the same failed ideas."

"We’re spending billions and billions, literally billions of dollars to
fix the problem, and you’re just subsidizing more of the behavior," he explained.

"Newsom, it’s so weird, he comes across as this outsider who’s coming in
and changing the system. He’s been in charge at a high level of California government for 23 years including eight years as the mayor of San
Francisco where homelessness there started to go through the roof."

Slater added, "He’s not going to solve anything."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
